Many thanks to those of you who participated in our January parent survey, “Has Your Child Identified as Trans?” That survey has now closed, and the results are being analyzed. The data will be released on PITT in the near future.
As part of our continuing efforts to better understand the current cohort of trans-identified children and young people and their families, PITT is now sharing our third survey, this one for detransitioners or desisters. The survey will be open until April 15th.
Through this questionnaire, we hope to help parents learn from the experiences of detransitioners, so we can take better, more informed care of our gender questioning children. Navigating raising a child with a trans identity is very difficult, and most of us have been blindsided, with little good guidance to know what is best for our children.
Detransitioners and desisters—we hope you’ll share your experiences and help the next cohort of children and families grappling with gender distress.
This survey is completely anonymous and confidential. Your email address is not being recorded, and our only way of responding to any of your comments is if you choose to include your email address with them.

These surveys are essential. Thank you.
I am right now watching the documentary of Kelly-Jay Keen's "Let Women Speak" tour in the US.
One of the most striking things in it is her conversation with a mother who managed to get her child to desist: "We used CULT DEPROGRAMMING tactics: cut off all negative influence, surround the child with positive influence, be on their side, and use logic, i.e. If gender is fluid, then why would you want medical intervention, as your gender might change tomorrow? Give them time and space to really think about it."
